MAKE YOUR LEADERSHIP COUNT
Not looking for a classic coach? Good, you are in the right place.
You don’t have time for meandering self-reflection but need a partner to figure out how to focus your time and energy to get results.
You have clear goals, but your usual way of doing things isn’t quite hitting the mark. You need to know which leadership approach and methods will help you and your team excel.
Sally only works with executives because she understands the complex, isolating and demanding nature of the C-suite.
Her razor-sharp insights provide the clarity to solve your leadership challenges, with confidence and at pace.
When the stakes are high, you can rely on advice from a leadership mentor with a honed and successful approach.

Meet Sally
I know what high stakes means in the real world: from travelling the world solo in 1998 (don’t mention the orangutan) to being the wingwoman every C-suite needs.
Early in my career, I ran a successful London headhunting firm. Fifteen years ago, I shifted focus to fully address the recurring problems senior leaders and teams face; overwhelm, unclear roles, and misaligned ambitions.
I created The REAL Method to challenge the assumption that high performers truly understand their roles, leadership qualities, and ambition. It’s designed to help those at the top to truly master their how of high performance.
As a High-Stakes Leadership Mentor, I’m not your typical coach. I use my straight-talking Yorkshire roots to cut through the noise and focus on what really matters. My clients appreciate this refreshingly direct approach in a world full of jargon.
I believe that for great professional growth, especially when you are a C-suite leader, you need the right person who will ask you the right questions fearlessly.
I am also trained in multiple results-driven tools and methods, including Master Neuro Linguistic Programming and Motivational Map Profiling.
